People who are accustomed to bullying because they are more powerful are often weak to greater power.

Shen Shian held the stick with one hand, not even looking fierce, but the group who was clamoring for a moment to grab his backpack and divide the supplies was like mice that had seen light. They pushed each other and no one dared to move forward.

No one wanted to know how it would feel like if the stick that had pierced hundreds of zombie skulls was on themselves.

In the silence of the room, Shen Shian's voice sounded coldly. "If you want to get more supplies, there are three floors upstairs that have not been cleaned up. As long as you join the cleanup operation there will be your share. If you don't have the courage to face the zombies, and you want to get supplies without any effort, then just wait to starve to death.

"Mr. Shen is right." Zhang Ze, who had not spoken, suddenly took a few steps forward as if he had never intended to keep quiet. He stood beside Shen Shian and backed him. "Is it too easy to live in a safe area, so that many people forgot the most basic fact that every piece of material you got was collected by the participants at the risk of their lives. Without the dedication of the participants, you would have starved to death. Mr. Shen is especially credited for this, and instead of being grateful, you wanted to snatch his stuff. What is the difference between this behavior and those of bandits? Not only shameless, but absolutely unforgivable.

He looked around coldly for a while, and there was no gentleness of the past on his face. And as if he seemed to be talking at some kind of worthless lower creatures, he spoke. "Today, all the troublemakers would not get their supplies, do you have any opinions?"

Shen Shian looked at his leader attitude and suddenly understood

Zhang Ze had proposed a method for the people who didn't participate in the zombie clean-up operation. They could still get a small amount of food through cleaning behind their messes.

There were three reasons.

First, to shape his credibility among survivors with a grand reason "To fight for all to live together"

Second, to split the survivors into two groups, the people who participated and who didn't, and select members among the participants to gradually develop a group led by himself.

Third, nourish the cowardice and inertia of the people who stayed behind. It was so dangerous to confront the zombies directly, even if it was just a cut made by the zombie's nails, they would die. If they only needed to hide in a safe area, and get supplies by cleaning afterward, why not do it? Although the food was less, but it was better to live than to die in the hand of a zombie and become a monster.

Inertia and greed are often inseparable. The fewer things these people get each time, the deeper the jealousy. Some even thought, "My work is dirty and tiring, and I don't have less labor than him. Why should he get food more than me"

The next step was to deliberately accumulate and focus the jealousy on Shen Shian. As long as the firewood was slowly ignited, sooner or later, it would erupt. And Zhang Ze was waiting for such an opportunity.

He expected that Shen Shian would not sit still, and he also expected that the people who stayed behind did not have the courage to fight with Shen Shian. The people who stayed behind were afraid of someone stronger than themselves, and when Shen Shian showed his power, Zhang Ze played at the right time, and could make participants trust him more while not making the people who stayed behind hate him.

In this way, in the eyes of the participants, he was the defender of their interests, and in the eyes of the people who stayed behind, he is the one to decide things. He wanted to make this leader position unshakable, and Shen Shian was the best person to help him establish this position.

Of course, if Shen Shian lost or even got hurt in this farce, then it would be a happy event for Zhang Ze to have one less powerful rival in the leader position.

In any case, he could achieve his purpose.

In fact, there were very few people with a leadership personality. When most people encounter disasters, they would subconsciously look for a leader to rely on. This could help them overcome the panic and quickly calm down. And Zhang Ze was undoubtedly a typical leader-type personality. No matter the level of understanding of human nature or the ability to control the thinking of others, he was extremely outstanding.

When did he start scheming this? Was it when he first entered the library? Or was it when he realised that everyone was abandoned by the rescue team?

Shen Shian lowered his head and rubbed his thumb on the thorn stick.

After the distribution of materials was completed, rich man Miao found Shen Shian, "Brother Shen, I would like to take the liberty to ask you, do you have any way to quickly improve my combat capability? I feel that my combat ability is still too weak. I will give everyone a hindrance when cleaning up." He solved a total of two zombies today, but in fact, only half of them were really solved by his own ability. The other half was attributed to Shen Shian's foot, and one was purely a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse. Someone knocked down one of the bookshelves and a zombie was hit by it. So he easily killed the zombie.

Shen Xun was going to eat Zhang Ze in one bite, and Shen Shian was coaxing the child. He glanced at him and said, "Are you determined?"

Rich man Miao, "En."

"I have methods, but it will certainly not be easy. If you are determined to improve yourself, then I can tell you, but if its just in the heat of the moment," Shen Shian frowned before continuing "Don't waste each other's time.”

Rich man Miao froze, and then laughed, "Brother, don't look at my rich state. In fact, I came from a poor family, and I had struggled to eat for several generations. If I could work for such a large industry in H city, then I'll never be idle and just waiting for the sky to fall. I have suffered much more than you have. If there is a way to teach me, please tell me. If I complain, I will write my name backwards."

Shen Shian stared at him for a while, then looked up and asked Li Cheng, "Are you free this afternoon?"

"Yes." He had received his share of supplies, and there will be a lot of free time in the afternoon.

Shen Shian took out half a bag of brown sugar from his backpack, which he had just received, and took out half a bag of salt from the space. He said to rich man Miao, "The biggest problem you have now is that you have too little exercise. If you can't fight it, the easiest way to live is to run. Run a lap along the first floor, run up the stairs to the fifth floor, run a lap along the fifth floor, and finally run to the next floor. Drink a glass of salt water and a glass of sugar water every ten minutes. If you can run a hundred rounds in three hours," speaking until here, he paused, "I remember you got a packet of instant noodles “

"En," Rich man Miao nodded proudly.

"If you can run a hundred rounds in three hours, at night I will give you two braised eggs and sausage, so you can have a good meal."

Rich man Miao looked as if he was about to cry. Shen Shian handed over the brown sugar and edible salt to Li Cheng. "I'll have to trouble you to supervise him. After three hours, I will give you two braised eggs and sausage." He thought for a while and added, "If you want to work out with him, pay attention to adding sugar and salt."

Rich man Miao had calmed down from his excitement. "Hey, wait a minute, brother Shen, it's already a great help for you to give me an exercise method. I can't let you give me your supplies again, this won't do."

Li Cheng also waved his hands, saying that he could not ask for his things.

"Zhang Ze is right," Shen Shian looked at the two. "Cleaning the zombies depends on the strength of the group. The higher your physical fitness, the more secure you will be for me. Take your time, don't refuse it."

The two looked at each other, and replied in unison, "We won't let you down."
